Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 29

When old man Zhao heard this, he became anxious, and he was a little unsteady on the phone, as if he was afraid that we would delay the time.Seeing that I refused at the last moment, he sighed and said, "You two, if something really happened to Xiao Wei, he would never send you a message. I guess he has already got into the car by now and went straight to the car. The destination is here. It is very likely that there will be plain clothes on this trip, so I dare not call you."

"This matter is good for you and me. Xiaowei is my subordinate. If something happens to him, I can't get away with it, so I can't play tricks on you about this matter. You two just debuted. The risk of going this time is very small, but if you don't go..."

On the phone, the old man Zhao just laughed, the laughter was low and unpleasant, and he said slowly: "You don't need to do anything, the curse of your Chen family will clean you up by itself. You are a businessman, since our interests are common, Why do you need to be an enemy?"

The so-called man is mature, I was moved by what he said, but I was unwilling to be led by the nose, so I said: "The ancients said that a promise is a thousand dollars, I took your money, and promised to do things for you in advance, this trip is natural. It's time to go. But my brother is still clear about the account, you didn't say in advance that you have a note, the risk of this trip is too great, you say, if I have something good or bad, my parents will not be sad to death."

The old man Zhao choked for a moment, and said: "How many years have your parents been dead? If something happened to you, it would be a family reunion. Come on, I know what you mean. There are rules in the Tao, please ask people to fight If you want to pay the 'entry fee', blame me for lying to you, and I will give you as much money as Xiaowei."

I couldn't help feeling angry when I heard it.This old boy is really scheming me, the occupation fee is really not recorded in grandpa's notes, so he almost gave him free errands.

I asked about the specific number in detail, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood after hearing it.Wei Guangtou is a well-known palm eye on the road, not to mention the rewards for fishing, even if he can't touch anything this trip, the labor fee for just digging mushrooms is very high, and the number is quite auspicious, 88 per visit.

I used to be considered a rich man, but I never spent that much money. It costs hundreds of thousands to millions, and this appearance fee has caught up with the first-line stars.

Hearing what old man Zhao said, I regretted it: Why didn't I join such a promising industry long ago!
After the discussion, we decided to rush to the place Baldy Wei said the next day.

Whether it's for the things in the old man Zhao's hand, for the curse of the Chen family, or for money, this trip must go. Tofu and I carefully plan the next itinerary.

Xiangxi Fengtou Village.

Some people may often hear the name Xiangxi, or watch ghost movies such as Xiangxi Exorcism, but most people really don't know where this place is.

In fact, this is an abbreviation. In a broad sense, it refers to the area of ​​the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the northeastern part of Hunan. In that area, there are mostly Tujia people and ethnic minorities live together. Therefore, there is a XXTJZMZ governing state.

The Fengtou Village mentioned above, although it may be the name of a village, actually has a lot of origins.

There is no reason on the surface, but there is a title of number one in the dark.

What is the first in this village?

ghost!
Of course, such things as ghosts cannot be put on the bright side, but as the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The name of the No. [-] Ghost Village spread like wildfire, mostly because of a creepy rumor.

Fengtou Village is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the geographical environment is humid and cold. It is said that almost everyone in the village has encountered ghosts, and it is every three forks.Some people felt strange, their curiosity arose, and they decided to go to that place to play the "adventure" game, hoping to see if they could really encounter mysterious things.

The results of it?As a result, I was terrified.

In this way, the reputation of the No. [-] Ghost Village is even stronger. Almost everyone who has traveled there can tell one or two things about their experiences of encountering ghosts during their travels. Isn’t it magical?
I have heard about this Fengtou village for a long time, Wei Guangtou asked us to meet there, could it be that the new mushroom they are looking for is in Fengtou village?
This incident was really a coincidence. That night, Tofu and I booked a flight to Xiangxi. Early the next morning, we hurriedly packed some bags and boarded the plane. The journey was only three hours, but it was just a one-way process. When we got off the plane, it was already after five o'clock in the afternoon. The airport is in a county, which is a tourist county. From here, there are many scenic spots around. However, it is not the peak tourist season, so there are not many people at the airport.

Tofu and I randomly found a hotel, and we ordered food and devoured it. Tofu was on Baidu’s route to Fengtou Village, and Baidu didn’t come out for a long time, so I directly asked the proprietress of the restaurant.

Treat guests like you treat God. The proprietress looked away from the TV show not very happy, and said: "Go to Fengtou Village, there is no car today, and there will be a trip at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. But that place is very evil. It’s not hard, let’s change to another place to play as soon as possible.”

Tofu had heard me tell about Fengtou Village earlier. This kid was obviously scared to death, but he took a good face and made a nonchalant expression, saying: "Isn't it a ghost, lady boss, I'm not bragging to you, we brothers can go up the mountain If you fight a tiger, you can catch a dragon in the sea. You can catch as many monsters as you come.”

The proprietress was amused, and stopped watching TV dramas, and chatted with the tofu. The two chatted about their respective mental journeys from various gossips in Fengtou Village, and then exchanged phone numbers.

I suddenly understood, no wonder this kid suddenly became hardened, and he was cooperating with picking up girls.

These two were fighting fiercely, and I didn't interrupt, I ate my own. At this moment, a clear voice suddenly interjected: "I'm going to Fengtou Village tomorrow, you two, why don't you take a companion." The voice was so clear that people were attracted to it involuntarily. Even Tofu and the proprietress stopped talking and looked at the speaker.

When I turned my gaze, I saw that person, and I couldn't help giving a silent praise.

The one who spoke was a tall woman with a ponytail, oval face, eyes as dark as ink, and a smile on the corner of her mouth, which made people feel good about her. The most important point was that she was beautiful.

This kind of beauty is different, it looks very eye-catching in the crowd, and the temperament on her body is hard to ignore.If such a beautiful woman offered an invitation, of course I wish for it, who doesn't like beautiful women.But right now is not the time to pick up girls, what we are doing this time is not a serious business, how can we partner with someone, this woman is already very eye-catching from the outside, such a person suddenly proposed to partner with us, I was still a little wary.

Just about to refuse, Tofu was already dazed by the fascination. He nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem. I rely on my parents at home and my friends when I go out. If we are destined to meet thousands of miles away, we will not meet each other. We are from all over the world. If we can gather here, then It's fate, you should cherish your fate when it arrives, don't stand still, sit down quickly."

I almost didn't spit out a sip of wine in my mouth, thinking that this kid, when asked to speak at a critical moment, he can't let out a fart, and when he shouldn't speak, he can pull out everything.

And that woman has already sat on our table, with a well-defined outline, a very calm demeanor, and a faint smile at the corner of her mouth is very attractive.

Tofu has completely forgotten me, and tried his best to chat with this beauty, asking her name, surname, and history, wishing to ask all her characters.

The woman was not annoyed, and calmly said that her surname was Gu, her name was Gu Wenmin, and she was a photographer. This time, she wanted to take a group of photos of the development of the ancient village, so she set her target on Fengtou Village.

Although the place is famous, due to its remote location, there are not many people who actually go on a trip. It takes five or six hours to drive there. I got the idea of ​​partnering.

Tofu flattered me fiercely and said, "Photographer, what a coincidence, I am a painter, and we are all engaged in art." While talking, seeing Gu Wenmin look at me from time to time, he said: "He is a businessman. Yes, I like to put on a sullen face, as if everyone owes him money, don't take it to heart. He's just a little twisted mentally, but he's still a good person..."

I feel that one day I will not be able to resist strangling him.

Tofu asked the proprietress to add a pair of chopsticks while talking. The matter has developed to this point, and I am embarrassed to drive the girl away.What's more, this Gu Wenmin has a gentle attitude, is pretty, and has an outstanding temperament, so it's hard to be hated.It's just that there is an old saying that people have a bad temper. If a person behaves too perfectly, it will make people feel weird. I looked at Gu Wenmin, and I couldn't help but keep a close eye on it.

She said that she was a photographer, and she did carry a big bag, which seemed to contain a lot of equipment. An ordinary girl can't carry it. This person should have good physical strength, and she shouldn't lie to us professionally.

But it's an extraordinary time, and it's an extraordinary time. Since Guangtou Wei and the others are being targeted, Tofu and I must be more careful.Regardless of whether there is a problem with this Gu Wenmin, she is too conspicuous to be remembered, and what Tofu and I need now is precisely to make people not notice us.
